Summary

This dataset was created primarily for teaching purposes,
enabling students to replicate original analyses but also to explore
the usefulness of alternative modes of analysis or to test alternative
hypotheses. The data were collected from a representative sample of
the Swedish electorate at the time of the 1964 Riksdag election in
Sweden. Variables ascertained the respondents' voting behavior, party
affiliation, and interest in politics. Demographic information
includes level of education, occupation, socioeconomic stratum, social
mobility, membership in labor unions, and frequency of church
attendance, as well as sex, age, and marital status. In order to
facilitate the use of the data for instructional purposes, several
summary classifications and variables in collapsed versions were
included in the dataset.
